The sandal I am about to review is the best sandal for kids that have extra wide feet, and they can wear it during the summer season and summer activities such as summer camp!

What most parents look when it’s time to provide their kids with a summer sandal is for the sandal to be durable, supportive, and to fit the shape of their kids’feet. However, when a child has an extra wide foot, it’s extremely HARD to find a summersandal that fits!

Please keep in mind that I write these reviews for those parents who don’t have a kids’shoe store in their area. Remember that is always better to take your kids to be properly fitted for shoes at your local children’s shoe store, where an experienced shoe fitter can properly measure your kids’ feet and find shoes that FIT. The issue is that several parents don’thave a children´s shoe store in their area, and they must purchase their kids’ shoes online.

Those parents should take a look at this post to get an idea on how to purchase their kids online:
